Pixie, who signed her first record deal at 15, has spoken before about the "incredible array" of talent the kids who took part in the show demonstrated, and she adds now that when you're younger you're more fearless, which comes in handy when you're auditioning on national television.

"None of the kids on the show have been pushed on or forced by their parents," she continued. "I think it's great to have this experience at this age; the younger they are they more fearless they are.

"They can learn and keep going and having amazing experiences like this and the show is exciting because it's just kids."

Pixie Lott will be joined by McFly's Danny Jones and The Voice UK stalwart will.i.am for the spin-off show.
